    Crazy Transit Pitches

    If anyone's looking for a doctoral thesis, can you write up about the different Boston-Cape Cod-Provincetown railroads that used to go down Cape? Piecing together the different Wikipedia entries on the different lines and the timing of it all is near impossible. Even more, would someone want to...

    archBOSTON Update: A New Dawn

    Sorry if I missed this part but what about banned members? I think anyone / everyone should be allowed back on, with new expulsions happening after that. (Or, people can just block those people, as they should have already done.) I mean, new owner, new rules, no?

    Echelon Seaport | 133-135 Seaport Blvd | Seaport

    I couldn't find anything about location on the BPDA's website and the last comments were by the mayor at the topping off in September 2018. The BPDA sent out a press release with this data: 447 condominiums (2 towers, to be delivered this year 3rd & 4th quarters) 270 apartments (1 tower, to be...

    Seaport Neighborhood - Infill and Discussion

    I know what you mean; I go through there probably 3x per week. Can you think of any solutions that are practical that might be put into action? I don't think there's any way they'll reduce the lanes in any direction.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium It's one of these six locations. Trust me; I'm psychic. Where will the NE Revolution build a new stadium? One of these locations. (The stadium & parking lots cover ~20 acres of land.) 1. Hood Park 2. Suffolk Downs 3. Cambridge Crossing /...

    Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | Downtown

    Re: Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | It's a two-fer. Both of the people below my last comment are on my ignore list!

    Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | Downtown

    Re: Dock Square Parking Garage | 20 Clinton Street | I can't read his/her comments b/c I blocked him long ago, but of course he/she is making no sense. The city is "broke" b/c of limitations on how much money it can revenue it can raise from property taxes. Everyone knows this as fact, right...

    Plan Nubian Square Parcel P-3 (née Tremont Crossing) | Roxbury

    This was supposed to break ground (the 92nd time promised) "in May" according to the developer. Did it? Are they even moving dirt around?

    The New Retail Thread

    I don't think any business is "deceased due to rising rents". Very few people still buy horseshoes, for example, which is why there are so few blacksmiths these days.

    Northern Avenue Bridge Fort Point Channel

    Do you think maybe too many people have too many opinions about a bridge that about 100 people will use on a winter's day? This whole thing is the definition of "Boston".

    The Alcott (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End

    Re: Longfellow Place (née Garden Garage Towers) | 35 Lomasney Way | West End 150 Staniford Street (the low-rise co-op building next door to this project) is so fugly. Never liked it, never will. It adds nothing at street level and I've never known anyone who has actually walked that side of...

    South Boston Infill and Small Developments

    Residents whine incessantly but no one can deny that South Boston hasn't done its part in adding housing to the local stock. If only we could get more in other neighborhoods.

    Channelside (née P&G) | 244-248 A Street | Fort Point

    FINAL COMMENT I PROMISE: the agreement filed with the deed also seems to restrict what RBCS can build on the site. "Purchaser acknowledges that the Gillette Property is to be used only for industrial or commercial use ..." unless the Seller (Gillette) agrees, or doesn't disagree, from at least...

    Channelside (née P&G) | 244-248 A Street | Fort Point

    No, but thank you for making me check the numbers on what's there now vs. possible. I can't imagine that much parking b/c it's on top of the tunnel, as mentioned. Regarding the market, I think because of whom the buyer is (Related-Beal) and where the project is located (prime real estate), the...
